The setting is still on my Windows 10 PC. It’s still relevant since they’re still shipping it with Windows.

It’s not, at least not on a Mac. It refreshes automatically, I honestly haven’t refreshed my apps in months outside of upgrading to iOS 17.

I’m sure you have the options disabled that show this kind of stuff but it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Anyone who is not tech savvy (99% of the population) will have no clue how to turn this stuff off or that it’s even an option.

I guarantee any PC sold by any big box store or on Amazon will come with this stuff enabled by default.

Have you ever opened the start menu? There are ads there. Unless you’re using some release like LTSC or have a network-level Adblock there are ads in there. For TikTok, candy crush, Disney+, etc. it’s like the preinstalled bloat on some androids, they’re just ads you have to annoyingly remove from your start menu.

Wow it’s true. Linux users are like vegans. You never have to wonder because they’ll tell you they are whether you care or not

If the alternative is trusting Google I’d rather stick with SMS. Implementing their closed source version of RCS would be a mistake. I’d half expect them to inject ads into the messages

And this is all ignoring the fact that this is a scam statement that should be struck down by the FTC. You can’t call an 8 gallon gas tank equivalent to a 16 gallon gas tank even if your car has better MPG.

lol good luck when Tesla literally charges $12k for “full self driving” software that does not do what’s advertised nor do what was promised over the last 10 years the CEO has been selling it. FTC and other orgs are toothless when it comes to false advertising, they’ll do nothing.

We are (very likely) already past the point of no return when it comes to tipping points. You can’t refreeze the arctic which is currently thawing at alarming rates. You cant grab the methane back from the air and put it into the ground.

The release of methane and other ancient CO2 from the permafrost will catapult us past other tipping points like a BOE as well.

It’s not fatalistic, it’s realistic. The IPCC has warned of this stuff for years and people still believe renewables are going to allow us to skirt the worst of climate change when it’s already locked in lol.

Not like it even matters at this point. There’s a decades long lag time on CO2 emissions so even if we completely stop today the planet will continue warming for decades.

Not to mention the arctic circle is a literal ticking time bomb that will blow long before the anyways. Methane is literally blasting out from the ground leaving giant craters behind. Methane is 28 times more potent than CO2 when it comes to trapping heat in the atmosphere.

Just look at how countries around the world combatted COVID. Climate catastrophe is going to be magnitudes worse than that and people are still sticking their heads in the sand.

lol that would never happen, the GOP would NEVER allow anyone but natural born citizens to serve

Probably his fillers shifting around so you might as well make fun of him, for that and his ass to head hair transplant.

Yeah it’s definitely life changing. The public sentiment over the last couple of years has gone from

“wow Elon musk is a genius who will electrify the world and get us to mars”

to

“Wow Elon Musk is a massive moron who clearly isn’t anywhere near as smart as he thinks he is”

and the more he spreads right wing conspiracy shit the worse it’s getting for him.

Let’s not even talk about the public image but the private one now- he borrowed something like $20b? from several banks to make the deal who are now saddled with the debt. They have also been discussing (publicly) selling it at a loss because they’re done with Elon. Other banks will not lend him money, ESPECIALLY with interest rates being what they are and what he’s done this last year. The time of free money (which is how he built all of his companies) and unlimited government subsidies is done and that’s the only way he’s been successful- when there’s virtually no risk.

He cannot pay his interest payments because he’s only rich on paper. He’s likely cash poor and hasn’t even been paying normal Twitter bills let alone interest payments for his $20b loan, which IIRC gains like a billion in interest every year. Dude dug himself into a hole with no way out

RIP Touchbar design. At long last.

M3 Pro/Max already?? Daaamn

“ I think that you will be able to fall asleep in a Tesla, is about two years away” Elon Musk, 2017

Yeah you shouldn’t believe anything this guy or his companies say lol

Just for the extra year or two of security patches you’ll get after Big Sewer is dropped

Sadly I think the latest rumours were that they’d use the Xr/11 chassis for the new SE. hopefully not because if they use the 12/13 mini… oh boy it’d be great

You can at least go to Monterey and still forgo any of the settings redesign silliness

there’s only so many ways to design a rectangular slab of glass and metal
